Furthur: November Tour

A much-anticipated Midwest for Furthur has been announced, with dates in Minneapolis (11/8), Ames, IA (11/9), and St. Louis (11/11), followed by two nights in Chicago (11/12-11/13). The tour-opening show is at the very same venue that the Grateful Dead played on 10/19/71, the night they debuted the new version of the band featuring Keith Godchaux on piano in his first appearance with the Grateful Dead. The tour then moves on to Cincinnati (11/14) and then a couple of places Furthur hasn’t yet hit: Reading, PA (11/16) and Baltimore, MD (11/17) at the 1st Mariner Arena, which was previously known as the Baltimore Civic Center, site of six Grateful Dead shows. Most famous amongst those would be 9/17/72, featuring a nearly 40 minute "Other One" and 4/19/82, at which Phil Lesh recited Edgar Allen Poe's "The Raven" during "Space." The tour ends in very familiar Dead Head terrain: one show at the Worcester Centrum (now DCU Center) (11/19) followed by two nights at Madison Square Garden (11/20-11/21).

Furthur also launched their new website recently, which is linked below.
